One of the biggest legends we've ever had.

May he rest easy.

Man, this one really hurts.
I honestly don't have the words.
Other than he was truly the definition of the word "thespian".
Thank you, Mr. Gossett for the many wonderful, memorable (and very quotable) performances you gave over the decades.
RIP.

Oh man! Played on Good Times both as Thelma's boyfriend Donald Knight, the fried chicken heir and Uncle Wilbur, Fiddler on Roots, Sgt. Foley in and an officer and a gentleman and countless other roles. Made rocking a baldy look cool, next to Issac Hayes. He lived a long and fulfilling life. Never heard any negativity about him and was a activist and freedom fighter. Rest easy and in power, sir.

I'll be damned! Omni was the shit! That big ass merry go round and haunted house. Was there as a youngster damn near every weekend at the arcade and movies. Later years, shopping at Oaktree, Chess King, etc every week to club on South Beach. Had to stay fresh. Sorry to distract from the thread, but you brought me back
